Visit to Maycomb in the 30´s
I came back to Maycomb, Alabama, in the 30`s, and I saw what It used to be, "Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town". Firstly, I was amazed because of the architecture as I didn't remembered it, the typical house look, shared by everyone, this included: gable dormers, eave dentils, doric pilasters, the porch, etc. but with different orientations, or size, made me feel like I was back in home. As I kept walking in the town, I start to sense a patron in all of the people, they were all wearing bad looking clothes, wrinkled, they all seemed very poor which made feel very bad, as I had forgotten how harsh was life in that time, but suddenly I heard the sound of an a amazing car coming by the street and as it came closer I figured out it was my favorite car, the Cadillac Twelve, but that made me feel the incredible difference between economic and social strata. Anyways, after a while I asked the owner if I can go for a ride, and inside the car, while driving, I saw an incredible look of the town, people were very happy even with the finance problems, kids were playing in the streets, life seemed to be beautiful, but all this changed as I was coming back, I saw all the neighborhood screaming and throwing things towards an Afro-American woman, this discrimination to the black lady was a shock for me as It was very hard to tolerate. Finally, after I came back to my house, I felt the emotions of all the day, the nostalgia was running throught my mind, I wanted to get back to Maycomb, but the idea of discrimination made me angry. Anyways I had a really good time and I am wishing to come back.
